When a tractor knocked 53-year-old Jiang Min’ai and her 3-year-old grandson off her electric scooter(小型摩托车), pedestrians in the eastern city of Taizhou called an ambulance. But after 30 minutes, no help arrived, and no cars stopped to lend a hand. Finally a local judge, Fan Hong, passed the scene of the accident. He immediately ordered his driver to turn around; they picked up Jiang and the injured boy and delivered them to a hospital.
Soon afterward, Jiang’s family showed thanks to Fan. But they didn’t send him flowers, or a fruit basket, or give him an envelope full of cash. Instead, they gave him a jinqi with Chinese characters, “You enthusiastically serve the people, helping to save the dying and heal the wounded!”
A local good-news publication, Zuimei, featured a photo of Jiang’s brother handing Fan the banner(旗帜). In the touch-of-a-button times where texted emoticons(表情符号) are replacing handwritten thank-you cards, China’s jinqi tradition is popular.
“It’s honorable to receive a jinqi; it’s like an award you can display, and people can easily see what a good doctor, worker, policeman or whatever you are,” said Zheng Haiyan, who sells customizable trophies and plaques(定制的奖杯和奖章). In the 1980s and ’90s, jinqi was a common sight in physicians’ offices, bus parks and schools in China, but have declined in popularity in the Internet age.
